HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- Let's get busy wiring up the sub box for 12 18's! Went a slightly different route by hiding all the wires inside the framework for the subwoofer baffle! Now each wire is hidden and super clean looking. Even managed to fit some nifty voice coil temperature Sensors in there! Come join the install, and thanks for watching!!!

Wiring is one of my favorite parts!!! Really happy with the results 😃
Come join the LIVE STREAM tomorrow at 5pm EST for even more fun!!!
When do we get EXO in 4k? Great work by the way! I been following you from the very beginning and Im about same age as you aswell. I started my bass head journey knowing next to nothing just like you and today Im designing PA systems as a hobby. It has been fun to see you grow, get your own place, partner and more, basically going through the same life stages like myself. keep up the good work man! regards from a great fan!
Can I make a prediction? The day you turn that thing on your windshield is gonna explode! Any plan for that?
will do! :)
Been watching you and this build start til now, you have me torn between builds I was going with a flat wall now I want a 6th order I'm unsure which way to go now 🤔 has my head spinning now 😢 which way should I go? 4 - 15 and 12k pushing subs, in an Expedition XLT
A lot of people don’t like wiring but I find it rewarding. Your job is amazing love the use of the tube to hide the cable. Love your content watching from Australia 🇦🇺
Car audio is the peak of craftsmanship. You have to be a car mechanic, electrician, woodworker, metalworker, welder and what not to complete a build
And a geometrist, and acoustic scientist
For real!
Ready for NASA
In Canada we had a MECP equivalent then it expired and then we made our own cert I never got, chitty deal...
Dude, really waiting for the bass. Switzerland 🇨🇭
Been watching EXO for years. Let’s all appreciate how this dude just kept on grinding, making content, and with enough time has achieved a ton of his goals. Definition of a success story. Love it.
Thank you for such an awesome comment! It doesn't go unnoticed when people like you help encourage and continue to motivate 🙏🤗
This build is gonna be a mix of pure perfection and extreme ear devastation. Makes me want to take a plane and come see it in person,you're doing an Insane job all alone 💪💪
HECK YEAH MAN! Let's make some bass at one of shows she hits 😎
Being the old dude in the room, I came from the heyday of the mid 90's Iasca sound Q cars. Attention to detail and craftsmanship was of paramount importance. It has been a pleasure watching your skill set improve with time. I am glad you are committed to not building yet another raggedy looking SPL/demo king system. We worked hard to hide wiring away neatly and build with great fit and finish, especially around the amp racks. I hope you keep it tight and right in that deparment too! Respect from KC!
The amount of work this man has done is impeccable. I'm super proud to see him build his own build unlike other big names 😂
I don't know what I enjoy more, the build or your constant positivity and excitement.
It's a two way street bigtime my bro! Been replying to comments all afternoon and it's so refreshing to see all the love!!! I wish the world was like this everywhere 😃
Exo was one of the first guys I ever watched as a teenager and to see that he has taken years to do something shows it doesn’t have to be done tomorrow. Take your time and do it right
You turned me onto the hydraulic crimper. It's inexpensive enough that there's honestly no reason not to own one. Depending on the model, you can crimp anything from 4/0 (bigger with some) all the way down to about 10g. Super solid connection with minimal effort. You the man EXO!
The one I got on Amazon broke about a year ago. The head cracked and broke in half. I sent the company an email explaining what happened and they sent me a new one for free! 😅
A manual crimper is actually easier it looks kinda like a bolt cutter if you've never seen one
Good stuff, huh!? Glad you were able to score a pair, I love em for all the heavy duty crimping 🤙Thanks for the comment!
Jezuz Exo! Not only is the van build solid and impressive but the strength of the mezzanine beam and framing is nuts! Dude, you are a class act. Your perseverance and attitude has my jaw is in the floor on every episode. Thank you for sharing ✌🏼✌🏼
Always trying my best, thanks for noticing the finer details and dropping a comment 🤙
Man, you’re really taking this build to 11! Off the charts bro!
I love the way you're not rushing on this build its gonna be a beast when you finish I'm sure
Dude! Your attention to detail is second to none! Loving the build so far. I can’t wait to see the next episode! This thing is going to be unreal! Loving the positive vibes too bro it shines through your eyes!
Keep up the good work dude your smashing life!
I thrive off this positivity! Thank you so much for being there for me to read stuff like this and get pumped up again!!!
This guy is definitely a builder, electronics is his hobby he's a master at...Absolutely amazing work
Hardest working man on RUclips right here. King of diy. Can't wait to see this thing finished
I love your attention to detail. Can not wait to see the finished product. As always great video
Thank you for previewing the Nelo Media NMCS-Twelve Voicecoil Temperature Sensor Kit w/Wireless Monitoring EXO! Sooo grateful to be a part of this extraordinary build 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Man. You're always blowing my mind with your attention to every detail.
Dang bud, as someone who used to design roof trusses for a living, seeing your joists 6" OC is pretty nuts. You could practically park that Nissan up there with how much weight that will hold (sarcasm, but it will hold a LOT of weight). You could have gone 12" OC and been perfectly fine for the most part. Of course, Im not one to talk since I built my work bench to clear span 8 feet and still hold over 500 pounds dead center. As I once heard, if it's worth doing, it's worth over doing. Great job on the both builds so far (workshop and van).
He could park a bulldozer up there
That wiring is looking great! I love how the isolation blocks are right even with the hole penetration. Using the frame as a wire trough. Just perfect! The whole time Exo was teasing that there was a wire issue, I thought it would be my old nemesis. When you drill through a piece of wood and get a screw! I forgot all about the tabs. D'oh! But it still worked out and the build is looking stunning!
So god to see a Man take solide share of building a Hardcore Bass Car!!
Greatings fron Swiss
That wiring is phenomenal! Outstanding work sir, I'm absolutely loving your build!
Thank you very much! Really happy with the results myself 😊
This man has taught me patience is the key to a big beautiful build great job brother
I’ve been building my door panels for a week getting ready for slamology felt overwhelmed and beat , till I see how far and wide u go .. your Pro build is looking beyond amazing❤.. keep up the good work and keep that beautiful Bass footage rolling.. 😂
F'N awesome can't wait till it's done. Been following you for years your one of the reasons I got back into car audio. Thanks EXO
Looks great. Man, that upper loft looks amazing and overbuilt!
Loving how the build is coming along! Also that laugh at 6:59 was great 😂
😅 Things are getting there FINALLY 😅
Thanks for showing the right angle drill attachment. I finally found a tool my father doesn't have and father's day is coming up. You saved me a lot of trouble. Before I buy, I'll check you desc to see if that is listed.
The OG car audio man right here,
Appreciate your presence in the world man, keep going as long as you want, we will watch.
Appreciate that my man! Gotta get the confidence to hop on here more often tho. For some reason I'm stuck in a stupid pattern of uploading every 2-3 weeks when I have lots to show for it... but I know people wouldn't mind seeing the smaller stuff in between like I used to do.
That extra bonus space blew my mind!!! I love how confident you are with all those large projects. Also as always the jams on the videos tie things together with such a nice chill vibe. Love the content exo! Keep on keepin on!
Thank you! One little step at a time seems to be the trick for me 🙂 Expect an email within the next couple few hours!
That was some bonus content with the second floor. ... I wasn't ready!!!!
Getting anxious now to see the finished project. Can't imagine the anticipation you must feel after all that hard work.
I can honestly say that is as high quality of a build as I have ever seen.
I'm right there with ya bro! Appreciate the compliment 🙂
Nothing more satisfying than a freshly pulled wire 😀
You sir have the patience I wish I had! Looking amazing!!
The attention to detail is phenomenal. Keep it up.
Man I love your videos . I could watch 40 minutes plus every time 🎉. Such a beautiful build
Much love bro! Feels great now that I'm starting to post more often again. Had a rough bout of imposter syndrome for a while... feeling a bit inadequate unless I had something massive or entertaining to post. But now I'm starting to realize it's all in my head, and not to worry so much about if things are perfect. I'm sure why I just shared all that, but I really appreciate your comment none-the-less!
i think this will be the most OG spl build done and documentated! BIG LIKE MAN!
Man doing electrical work car repair and building a house... I can't even put a simple amplifier 😂😂😂 good work hope 2 cat u on live all the way from Spain 😊
Your attention to detail is out of this world!! Your whole plans of the build are so intricate its mind blowing! Great job brother! Keep up the great work! Im excited to see your reaction when she actually plays!!!
Your positive vibes don't go unnoticed my good sir!!! Thank you 🤗
This is so awesome to see Bruce!! This takes professional grade wiring to a new level in car audio 💯
Wow, very humbling comment! Thank you for the encouragement man🤙
Glad you deburred the holes, was worried for a bit. Getting it DONE!!!
The car audio world for the average person will have a monument of exo one day!!
I remember this guy from long long time ago when he was in his driveway doing bass demos with his minivan and a old man stopped thinking EXO bedded help with his car even tho he had a big sign saying Bass demos for free lol
I can’t wait to see this build complete, EXO does such great work. AWESOME!!!
It's funny when people think car audio and lots of subwoofers is a highschooler thing. When in reality, we learn to fabricate with wood, properly know how to brace wood, learn basic (and sometimes more complicated) electrician work, sometimes have to use 3D design software. Especially when someone loves car audio like EXO and is doing it professionally, properly and precisely.
Thanks so much exo! I keep streaming your videos while working on my build for motivation, you’re the best.
Your attention to detail is impeccable
It must be very exciting to be so close to ending this vast project. Can't wait to hear it!
Every video amazes me. This one is over the top. The hidden terminals are FANTASTIC!
You da man! Thanks for dropping a comment 😎
Exo... After an awful day at work, it's great to have something to look forward to.
I genuinely have no idea how this could have possibly turned out any better. All the little details are truly building to be a behemoth of craftsmanship. Wish you lived in San Diego county so I could come demo and buy a t-shirt from you!!!
Can’t wait to see this beast beat down the block. Your craftsmanship is one to truly admire. Been with you since the beginning man much love from Georgia 🤟🏼
EPIC WIRING TECHNIQUE I will be coping your style EXO
Really enjoy watching your videos, you do amazing work especially with your emphasis on going that extra step on your builds. It makes all the difference in the world.
Thank you very much! It means a lot to come back around and read such great comments. They really help motivate me!!!! 🙏
THE LOVE THAT SHOP SHOW YOU IS PRICELESS
When i first saw the video when you purchased that van, i knew i had to see the final result. Can't wait! Best of luck!
Hey ive been watching you for a couple years now. I cant wait to see her when shes ready. That vans gonna be the loudest ever hopefully. Your doing awesome keep it up . I want a system so so bad i I work 2 full time jobs and moved into a new place and bought my car and my son is fighting a court case. Ands its pretty serious case. So between the new place a and rent and bills its alot on my plate and im struggling. Some day hopefully ill have some bass. And thank you for teaching me so much. You taught me everything i know about bass that i never even knew about and im a recovering addict 10;years clean and you helped me through so plzz keep up.. thank you so much 😊cant wait till shes done she needs a name..
Keep up the good work man! Glad to be here with ya, and with an outlet you enjoy to boot!!! Thanks for the comment 🙏
You sir are a legend! Its like watching someone build a Challenger tank. Everything built to Withstand a nuclear bomb! 🤟
EXO is like the Cody's Lab of car audio. Good stuff.
Still here still watching love the tidy 4 gauge wire tuck . 👌
Dude thank you so much for all your videos!!! You are such a inspiration!!
Lenny is so kool… the best boss you can ever get…. You are very very lucky you guys are best buddies…
Exo, OMFG YOU GOT A HEAT GUN! I'M SO PROUD!!!!
I totally love the second floor in your garage EXO, keep going buddy, huge hug !!
Loving this series. It is always the highlight of my day when you post a new progress video of your install. I'm loving the content, quality of filming and the quality audio (and voiceover). Keep them coming, we are all watching and loving it!
Glad you like them! WON'T BE STOPPING ANY TIME SOON 😄
Bit by bit it's going great ❤💯🔊🔊🔊
9:54 Those are really fancy shnanzzzyyy cables you got there, good job 👍
Man i love this channel… such a fun build to follow. This thing is gonna SLAM
Means a lot to hear that, thanks!
EXO, I thorougly am enjoying this journey you are sharing with us. I think I am more excited than you are. Keep up the great work
The job you did wiring thru the tubes was awesome. I'm loving the attention to detail and functionality of it all. Great work, buddy. You are taking it to another level EXO 👍✌️😎
Appreciate the love! Glad you enjoyed it 😀
You are a master of attention to detail. I'm hooked. This thing is going to be the most anticipated piece of car audio master craftsmanship, can't wait! You're amazing! Thank you!
Supporting the cause like a true Basshead bro, love it man! Thank you 🤙
Your build your building is amazing.
wish i had all these tools in my garage and could work on systems. just installed my own and it's pretty good. still have a couple things i gotta do. thx for the content exo
Dude, I really admire your dedication.
I enjoy the builds more than blasting my bass...
You can pump the subs pretty much anytime...
But you only do a build every so often...enjoy the ride my man.
Let’s help EXO out!
Everyone make a comment and everyone like a ton of the comments!!! Let’s put in some work like he does!
Ah man, I don't even get out of work till 5. Hopefully I can catch that live stream. Funny part is the last time I had a system I was watching you tear down the 18s, now Im building a system back up and you just about got yours up and running. I'm getting some stuff in the mail tomorrow for I'm looking forward to installing my stuff while watching the live stream after work.
This a freaking SWEET build!. . . Been a heck of a ride
Hey Exo…
Meinen größten Respekt für deinen Fleiß !
Great idea and fully committing to it. That’s a lot of extra fiddly work, but you rocked it!
That is a awesome route for the wires.
Props on the 2nd level too!
This will prob be the most perfect build ever in car audio.
I’m not into bass, I’m not into car audio, I’m not into cars, I don’t even own a car 😅 but I always enjoy watching your videos.
Amazing work! Not sure if someone else has mentioned it before, but, tin the exposed wire ends before putting them inside the crimp lug as it will produce the absolute best electrical connection and physical longevity. It's probably overkill, but, so is everything else in this build! Might as well go all out ;)
You know someone is seasoned having this kind of ideas! Thanks for sharing Exo! Haa..kakakakakakakaka!
Never seen this perfection on such an immense build. I've learned many things from these vids and i really thank you.
I've been watching your videos from the Frankenstein. Greetings from italy.
P.s. if you ever want to visit italy hit me up🎉
I hope he plans to put all the vids of this build from start to finish so I can binge anytime I want LOL
Love this guy man. Can’t wait to see this thing bumping
That's some dope vibes on the jazz side beat
Glad you noticed! Recently upgraded music collections for video making 👍
Ready to see it pumping. So is Soundman.
Please use nails also for your loft! Not just screws and glue. Because of the whole shear strength and science thing. Please. Btw, excellent thorough build! You are a true kind person, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
You’re awesome dude , every project you do turns out amazing! I can’t wait to see the behemoth van finished
It’s one step closer!!! Looks incredible 🎉
I stopped watching another video just to come watch EXO tackle his build. Inspiring to all of us and the bass community
Damn, you could park the Nissan on that 2nd floor you built. She is SOLID.
You did all that in just a week!? Holy smokes you do good work bro
"protection, didn't plan that, I'll take it though"
~Exo, as well as a FEW good men, self included.
Finally, the wiring.
hate when yo videos end man keep em coming exo
Man, you are truly inspiring to watch and to follow this build, I have been following for a while now and watch every video and I am getting sooooooo excited to finally see how she performs..... Wish I could experience it too but I am all the way in South Africa and I doubt it would be possible, but keep up the great work and inspiring people to do the work and effort that you do.....
Can't thank you enough for taking the time to write something so positive and supportive. Really makes me want to keep pushing even harder, so again, THANK YOU 🙏🙏
It is only a pleasure, excited for the next video and even more excited to see the finished build..... Much love and hope to meet you one day.....
